Re: Top Ten Fruits In Nigeria And Its Benefits by Docosward(m): 5:39am On Jun 06, 2011 |
Eating fruits does not mean buying fruits, cutting it and popping it into our mouths.It involves more than that.It is important to know how and when to eat fruits. Let me show you the correct way of eating fruits. Research has shown that it is important not to eat fruits after your meals, fruits should be eaten on an empty stomach.If you eat fruits like that,it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities. Bear in mind that fruits is the most important food but eating fruits after meals causes stomach discomfort as the fruits come in contact with the meal. The whole meal rots and ferments turning into acid.This could lead to cancer because the moment fruits come into contact with food in the stomach and digestive juices, the food begins to spoil. Taking fruits on an empty stomach prevents graying hair,balding,nervous outburst and dark circles around the eyes. Fruits that are considered acidic like oranges and lemon don’t cause harm because all fruits become alkaline in our bodies according to research. The secret of true beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight lies in mastering the correct way of eating fruits.Try this and achieve your desired weight and beauty. I love you all |

Today fruit is Sour-sop. |
Re: Top Ten Fruits In Nigeria And Its Benefits by Docosward(m): 6:19am On Jun 06, 2011 |
Soursop is a fruit that has the most delectable flavor. The soursop is a large fruit of a small, fast-growing tree. The fruit is picked from the tree before it has fully ripened as it will be badly bruised if allowed to ripen and fall. The fruit is mature and is ready for eating when it feels slightly soft and is light green externally. The skin is thin and is covered with conical nibs. The white, pulpy flesh, which contains juice, is peppered with small shiny, black inedible seeds, and has a pleasant, sweet-acidic taste. As it is rather fibrous, its squeezed juice makes a better choice, and has, in fact become more popular than the fresh fruit as such. Soursop has few seedless varieties, but they are rare, and tend to have fibrous flesh. Medicinal Benefits: Soursop is not only a delicious and healthy fruit but it is use medicinally to treat illness ranging from stomach ailments to worms. • The seeds, which have emetic properties, can be used in the treatment of vomiting. • The leaf decoction is effective for head lice and bedbugs. • The crushed fresh leaves can be applied on skin eruptions to promote healing. • The juice of the fruit can be taken orally as a remedy for urethritis, haematuria and liver ailments. • The juice when taken when fasting, it is believed to relieve liver ailments and leprosy. • To speed the healing of wounds, the flesh of the soursop is applied as a poultice unchanged for 3 days. • A decoction of the young shoots or leaves is regarded as a remedy for gall bladder trouble, as well as coughs, catarrh, diarrhea, dysentery, fever and indigestion. • Mashed leaves are used as a poultice to alleviate eczema and other skin problems and rheumatism. • The root bark is use as an antidote for poisoning. • Soursop flowers are believed to alleviate catarrh. • Decoction of leaves used as compresses for inflammation and swollen feet. |

Cut fruit up into chunks and put in freezer bags, and place in the freezer. Use up in smoothies!!!, HTH. Most fruits will keep in the freezer up to a month. |

Pls who knows where I can get beetroot in nigeria, who who knows the local name? |
Re: Top Ten Fruits In Nigeria And Its Benefits by WAVixen: 3:46pm On Oct 26, 2011 |
Dependent on where you live, try the local market where fruits are sold and ask them for beetroot. You think those market women are dumb?! Wrong, because they come in contact with foreigners who ask for these fruits and vegetables they know almost all the fruits.

peachie: I know this thread is old but no knowledge is lost. To preserve fruits in refrigerator, keep them in nylon or plastic bags. Fruits will remain fresh as long as they are refrigerated in nylons or plastic bags. My hypothesis: I think the reason fruits get spoilt in refrigerator is because the freezing or cooling gas sucks moisture of the fruits, leaving them susceptible to spoilage. I stand corrected in this regard. |

Hi, thanks for the post. Some fruit names I don't even know, and for my country they are considered to be exotic food. But what's the most important is that they serve to control weight. Also I found that I think is an interesting read. I have always thought about how to keep muscle mass and not to lose it completely while keeping healthy weight. |
